MYSQL: Can you pull results that match like 3 out of 4 expressions?

Question

Say I have a query like this:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE name = \"john doe\" AND phone = \"8183321234\" AND email = \"johndoe@yahoo.com\" AND address = \"330 s         


        

Answer 1

I like the IF construct:

SELECT * FROM my_table
WHERE
(    IF(name    = 'john doe', 1, 0) +
     IF(phone   = '8183311234', 1, 0) +
     IF(email   = 'johndoe@yahoo.com', 1, 0) +
     IF(address = '330 some lane', 1, 0)
) >= 3
